We had a thread a while ago that was for creating a table for generating a skitarii force that wasn't really finished, so lets pick up where it was left off!

Infamous Failures
>1. Horrific blunder- In some how part due to the Forgeworld's and its maniples incompetence, a vital STC blueprint was utterly destroyed. Whether or not it is truly their fault, it matters not; they carry with them a deep shame for which they will always be looked down upon.
>2. Fallen forge- This maniple is directly responsible for the loss of a critical forge to enemy hands, whether it be from the conniving Xenos or the dreaded hands of chaos. This has hurt the pride of the maniple, and has also reduced the manufacturing ability of the forgeworld over all.
>3. Heretek- Through methods of un-holy science, the maniple was able to defeat a mighty enemy. It was only afterwards were these powers revealed and purged, along with any who had a hand in it.
>4. Death of logic- The Maniples lines were broken through during a Daemonic invasion, scattering as the warp spawn cut through them and those they were charged to protect. Visions of the impossible geometries and horrific forces scarred them, weakening the maniples belief in the unfailing logic of the Machine god.
>5. Broken Mechanism- Through a horrific betrayal, the Maniple was forced to slay its sister forge world, killing off all its spirits, priests and machines, many of whom we're brothers and sisters in the cult. When the maniple left, all that remained were the broken, shattered pieces of those they once held closest.
>6. Horrors of the past- This Maniple was present during the awakening of a major Necron Tomb World. At first what seemed a miracle, turned to a darkest nightmare as their fellows were cut down by beams of pale green light. Escaping with the minimal amounts of data they could, they have never since escaped the emerald glare of technologies true masters.
>>47051275
>Cont.
>7. Recall File: Tyrannis- In a experience not unfamiliar with the ad-mech, a important forge world under the maniples watch fell prey to a Tyranid hive fleet, which left the world a unproductive ruin, its great manufactorums now silent
> 8. Clash of faith- This maniple suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of a Sisters of Battle covenant after offending the honored sisters. Many forges were ruined in their zealot rage, and from now on, the Forgeworld is sure to remember the fine balance of the emperor and the Omnissiah.
>9. Upstart Enemies- In a apalling turn of events, the Maniple allowed a army of the wretched Tau to capture a crucial forgeworld. When the Tau were finally repelled, they found the Machine spirits desecrated, and unwilling to return to the proper bindings of its true masters. In rage, the entirety of the forges were destroyed.
>10. Titans fall- This Maniple was nearly wiped out when during a war against the fell powers, A entire titan legion turned traitor. Death sung from their cannons, and even to this day, whispers tell of the horrors visited upon them by their former brothers, which still hunt them to this day.

Glitches i figure should be something like the gene seed problems from the space marine creation tables, with some sort of prerequisite roll to see if you have them.

That's it for what was come up with so far. Everything is still on the table, and feel free to pitch as many ideas as you want. Lets try and keep this from getting bloated, however
Bump for community projekt!
Maybe there can be a table for how much structrues the planet has? Like is the entire planet covered in facotries and hives, or is it just a continent, etc
>>47052784
There aught to be one for planet terrain/homeworld type too
Bump for bed
That is a wonderful paintjob. I gotta ask why do skitarii get a fuck up table? No one else has one, why are we hatin on them?
>>47055070
It was suggested in the other thread and had a decent amount of options. We can omit it if everyone thinks it's dumb
>>47057705
I like it, gives more variety.
Do we have a page yet?
>>47060559
Yeah with nothing really on it. Just what was posted ITT unformated
>>47051377
>ecclesiarchy
You sure
Should we add a table for what unit type that are most common? Like are there more Rangers, dunecrawlers, Dragoons, etc than other Skitarii forces?
Well! What if we create a Skitarii Cohort with the tables that have been created so far?
>>47066497
Core unit, yeah. What else is common?
>>47066582
I guess it could show what's missing
>>47069233
>>47066582
We don't really have numbers to roll
>>47070343

Fell free to make suggestions.
Let's start with the type of Forgeworld.
1d10
>1-3 factory
>4-5 Weapons testing facility
>6-10 exploratory vessel
>>47051364
Remember that all Skitarii have the implants and replacements as detailed in the intro to their codex, such as the lack of eyelids, and prosthetic legs.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>47072596
>>47072655
Still trying to make it a sliding scale. Plus, the more variety the more interesting the result. Not sure where to take the table from there, however
>>47072748
Our Skitarii protect a weapons testing facility.
>Inventiveness
1d10
>1-4 changes in the holy patterns are heresy
>5-7 adaptation under duress (one of the forge worlds in the codex is mentioned to have been modifying their onagers in response to a war on their planet, unhappily, because they have no choice but to adapt or die)
>8-9 actively seek solutions to design flaws
>10 try to create entirely new designs (bloody hereteks)
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>47072795
>>47072847
Our Forgeworld tests weapons against a number of conditions, and are willing to "rediscover" variations before a critical battle.
>People we make shit for

>3-4 [[Adeptus Arbites]]

>29 Schola Progenium
>30 Scholastica Psykana
Rolled 7, 8, 3, 30 = 48 (4d30)
>>47072953
So far so good
>>47072962
>Adeptus Astra Telepatica
>Adeptus Arbites
>Adepta Sororitas
>Scholastica Psykana
Pretty cool rolls desu senpai
>>47072962
We test crowd control equipment for the Arbites, small arms for the Sisters, and various equipment for sanctioned psykers.
>Leadership

>2 Only the machine god can truly lead us (ruler is the divine machine god)

>6 Pick two.
Rolled 4 (1d6)
>>47073176
>>47073214
Our leaders have minimal weakness.
>Recruiting methods
1d5
>1: you are born Mechanicus: only those bred/grown on forge worlds
>2: stewardship of the lesser: grace your knowledge upone those chosen from worlds you connect with [like knight worlds]
>3: balance
>4: Penal Legion alternative (Radical techpreists forced to "spend time reflecting on the Omnisiah")
>5: Forced Servitude
Rolled 3 (1d5)
>>47073308
>balance
I feel that was a place holder for an actual option, one that was on the middle ground. Maybe volunteers?
>>47073336
We recruit from the PDF of the nearest worlds, uplifting those most willing and able to fight for the Mechanicus.
>Skitarii Sentience/status
1d10
>1-3 Cogs in the great machine (ie drones controlled remotely by techpriests
>4-5 Fingers in the fist of the machine god (princeps are sentient and control their squads)
>6-9 can't think of a decent name (largely sentient and autonomous with some injuctions and overlying directives from techpriests built in)
>10 complete autonomy
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>47073486
>>47073571
We learn from our past, but we are guided by the rulers of the Forgeworld.
>Size of the Maniple
1d10
>1-3 battle maniple/battle congregation
>4-6 war cohort
>7-9 there was a formation of admech and skitarii (not the war convo) which i cant find but if somone could it would fit here
>10 war convocation (note this requires a roll of friendly knight house, if not reroll)
I'm not sure what the deal is with the third option.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>47073704
>>47073722
We are always are prepared for a fight.
>Glitches(Quirks)
1d5
>1 there are small power surges in mechanical implants that cause small shocks and can occasionaly lead to debilitating failure of key parts
>2 your recievers and transievers act up, and you occasionaly your noosphere goes down

>5 your kastelans achieve sentience (FUUUUUUUUUUUCK)
Rolled 5 (1d5)
>>47073789
>>47073864
Perhaps we fielded our Kastelans too often, or perhaps a Datasmith wanted to give us an edge. In either case, we try to keep the rulers of the Forgeworld from realizing how independent we really are. We can take them down at any time.
I'm going to have to stop here. If someone else wants to pick this up, their free to.
>>47073704
Just found the name for it, I was thinking of the formation cohort mechanicus from white dwarf.
>>47074588
For the third one I mean.
>>47051326
>made the bitchinest servitor ever
UP NEXT ON THIS EPISODE OF "PIMP MY SERVITOR!"
They should have an allies and enemies table as well I presume?
>>47074605
What is it
>>47075702
We sort of have allies already. We still need an enemy one
>>47076964
It's listed up top. Shouldn't we just drag and drop the enemy chart from guards or Knights?
>>47077759
>1-2 - roll on allies
>3-14 - The Orks (alternatively, you may select a particular Waaagh! or Warboss)
>15-32 - The Eldar, Probably one of their Knight Houses (alternatively, you may select a particular Craftworld or leader)
>33-51 - Chaos Knight house!
>52-62 - The Tyranids (alternatively, you may select a particular Hive Fleet)
>63-72 - Chaos Space Marines (you should choose a particular warband, Chapter, or Traitor Legion)
>73-80 - A particular Daemon, Daemon Prince or Disciple of Chaos
>80-87 - A particular Chaos-aligned group (i.e., Traitor Titan Legion, Chaos pirates, renegade Imperial Guard, etc.)
>88-97 - The Dark Eldar (alternatively, you may select a particular Kabal or leader).
>97-100 - Other (choose one force or group, such as aliens (see below) or heretics or a specific cult)
Rolled 77 (1d100)

>>47078872
>daemon/daemon host
Seems fitting enough
Can someone fix the skitarii page? It's a real clusterfuck
So from what I'm getting here, we're basically an entire planet of pic related?
>>47079748
That's the point of this thread
>>47079764
Add more tubes and religion, then yeah
>>47080539
>>47079764
And more ninja shit
How should I structure the page? Like the Stormtroopers?
>>47083372
Yea, sounds good
>>47083372
Also, add 4d100 to the table on who they make stuff for
>>47083519
Alright, I'll get to it
What could we do for Omnissiah cult beliefs?
I'd say a five option table with basically a scale from For the Emperor to For the Omnissiah, with maybe a weird or "roll twice" option at the end
>>47084013
I'm gonna pull the trigger and go with it
>>47079748
I'm trying
>>47051187
>>47051187
>>47051187
Could someone help me organize this shit? It's really a mess right now, and I'm not sure what to tackle first or how to do it
>>47088332
I'm keeping this thread alive, damn it!
Holy shit, I just checked the 1d4chan page, and the creator horribly messed up applying the tables, and I don't know how to fix them.
>>47091044
let me see if I can't give it a shot. The ones at the top are all set up alright enough, it mostly looks like he just dumped the tables. It needs to get fucking organized, its a mess.
>>47091146
>>47091044
In the process of cleaning up, this is really barebones thus fair, so its sort of hard to organize
>>47091146
>>47091656
Doing the Emperor's work lads, I thank you.
>>47091921
I'm mostly just struggling with which table goes where and in what order. I have no clue what to go first, but I guess that's what that list was for
A lot of these tables need more work
Alright, I gotta hit the hay. Thanks to the anon who made the wiki all nice. Tomorrow, I'd like to buff out some of the rough spots and get some more necessary tables out. Hopefully this thread will still be up
bump
>>47094576
Can you think of any tables that could be added outsid me of the ones ITT.
>>47095477
leadership maybe?
>Matrix connection (hive mind basicly)
>A council
>Dictatorship (The lord fabricator rules all)
>Democracy/republic
>(Somehow the Adeptus Administratium rule this forgeworld as they see fit)
>>47095578
There's technically already a leadership table, it's just under unsorted. I'll add the options that don't overlap though
What are some more forge world classification? We only have three or four
>>47097328
Military forge world a la Cadia?
>>47098525
What, like one that just churns out skitarii. I guess that could work
>>47099343
>>47098525
What would you call it? Soldier world? Is there a precedent in the lore for it?
boomp
